South African Airways Vacations  is showcasing South Africa’s vibrant and diverse KwaZulu-Natal region, also known as the “Sunshine Coast,” with a specially-priced package that starts at $1,999.

The “Sunny South Africa” air-inclusive package features five nights at the Southern Sun Elangeni Hotel, located on Durban’s Golden Mile beachfront. A half-day city tour of Durban is complemented by a full-day tour of Shakaland, for an immersion in the culture of the region’s storied Zulu tribe. Time spent at leisure will encourage travelers to explore and discover this city’s history and beautiful beaches that overlook the Indian Ocean.

The KwaZulu-Natal region and its main city of Durban are South Africa’s undiscovered gems, with a melting pot of cultures and a rich history, all overlooking the Indian Ocean,” said Terry von Guilleaume, president of SAA Vacations. “Whether discovering the history of the famed Zulu warriors, the city that shaped Ghandi’s views before returning to India or the mix of Indian and African cuisine that has evolved, Durban and its surrounding areas will satisfy first-timers and South Africa enthusiasts alike.”

The “Sunny South Africa” package includes flights on South African Airways, plus accommodations on a bed and breakfast basis, tours and ground transfers.
